Costumed Orphan Matron/Masked Orphan MatronAlliance Quest – Horde Quest
This is a ‘breadcrumb’ quest offered by commoner NPCs in the major cities in order to direct you to the matrons offering quests at a number of low-level villages. For the Alliance, the matrons can be found in Azure Watch, Goldshire or Kharanos. For the Horde, the matrons can be found in Brill, Falcomwing Square or Razor Hill. It is not a pre-requisite for any of the other quests.

Throw Water Buckets onto 5 fires, and then speak with the Costumed/Masked Orphan Matron.

Right-click on the large water bin get a Water Bucket in one of your bags. Right-click the water bucket, place the green target over a flame and then left-click to throw the water on the flame. The water bucket will disappear each time you use it so you need to collect another from the large water bin.

The Costumed/Masked Orphan Matron wants you to help put out all the village fires after the Headless Horseman lights them. When they are out, speak again to the Costumed/Masked Orphan Matron.

Right-click on the large water bin get a Water Bucket in one of your bags. Right-click the water bucket, place the green target over a flame and then left-click to throw the water on the flame. The water bucket will disappear each time you use it so you need to collect another from the large water bin. This quest can’t be completed alone – there is a time limit and you will probably need at least 4-6 people, maybe more depending on your strategy. With multiple players putting out the fires you can form a ‘bucket brigade’ to get water to the fires faster. If players stand in a line towards the fire, then the 1st player can target the next player in line to pass as if they were a flame. When they throw the water it will in fact pass the water bucket to them. This provides a faster method to put fires out, rather than running back and forth to collect individual buckets.
